Another run of unseasonably hot weather affected eastern Pennsylvania from August 2nd through the 5th. High temperatures reached at least into the mid 90s each afternoon. The heat resulted in five more heat related deaths (4 in Philadelphia, 1 in Montgomery County). Hospitals saw an increase in cases of heat exhaustion and respiratory related illnesses. Even some of the Philadelphia Eagles were affected by the heat as they had to cut their practices short at Lehigh University. Seeking relief from the heat helped cause the drowning of a 17 year-old boy in Upper Providence Township (Montgomery County). He was swimming with his friends in the Perkiomen Creek in Lower Perkiomen Valley Park when he drowned. Once again the city of Philadelphia declared a code red as outreach teams helped the homeless by offering them cold water and air conditioned shelters to escape the heat. The PJM Interconnection Electricity Grid Operator asked for public conservation of electricity. The excessive heat did put a strain on electrical systems and caused widely scattered power outages in Berks County.A weak cold front moved through eastern Pennsylvania during the night of the 5th and brought temporary relief from the heat and humidity. Highest temperatures included 98 degrees in West Chester (Chester County) and Easton (Northampton County), 96 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport, Reading (Berks County) and the Lehigh Valley International Airport, 95 degrees in Doylestown and Neshaminy Falls (Bucks County) and 93 degrees in Pottstown (Montgomery County).

During the early morning hours of the 17th, lake effect showers developed and moved onshore over northern Lorain County.  The band of heavy rainfall stretched from offshore of Lake Erie into central Lorain County.  This area of showers quickly intensied causing substantial flooding in the City of Lorain and some minor flooding in Amherst.  In Lorain, the heavy rain band set up over Millers Run Creek and caused it to rise out its banks.  At least three feet of water flooded streets near, and just to the east of the creek.  Water quickly flowed into the basements of homes near the creek filling them with several feet of water.  Homes along Sherwood Road and Windsor Court sustained the worst flood damage.  Flood waters rose enough to get on to the ground floor of six homes.  Many other homes nearby had three to four feet of water accumulate in their basements.  Water penetrated most of these homes through basement windows.  A lot of flooding was also reported along West 23rd Street.  Many residents near and away from the creek were forced to evacuate from their homes.  Tower Boulevard, a major road in Lorain, had around three feet of water on it.  Some rainfall amounts in and around Lorain ranged from 2.07 inches in Lorain to 1.06 inches at the Lorain County Airport.  Amherst received 1.18 inches, and Sheffield Villiage picked up 1.36 inches. Hundreds of homes, most of them in Lorain, reported serious basement flooding from sewer backups.  No injuries were reported as a result of the flooding.

Strong gusty winds developed in advance of and along a powerful cold front crossing the region. Sustained south to southeast winds of 25 to 35 mph were common...with frequent gusts of 50 to 60 mph persisting for several hours. An isolated wind gust of 76 mph was reported at an elevated site near the coast with onshore winds.The combination of trees still containing many leaves...antecedent wet soil conditions from previous rains and the prolonged nature of the strong gusty winds contributed to extensive uprooting of trees across the entire region...with many trees also snapped or experiencing serious limb damage. The falling trees and limbs also brought down numerous powerlines contributing to extensive power outages across the entire region. Tens of thousands of customers lost power for varying lengths of time. Falling trees and limbs also disrupted traffic due to debris blocking roads. This was one of the most extensive wind events...in terms of impact...for many areas in recent years.
